<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 846947, member: 19765&quot;]Nice war nickel just the same.&nbsp; With war nickels you gotta look, look some more and keep looking, but that&#039;s part of the fun and the draw.&nbsp; Full steps is only part of the equation but not everything, by a long shot.&nbsp; Sure I like finding a war nickel with full steps but you can&#039;t eliminate all war nickels that have a bag mark on the steps either.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I look at the strike on the coin, the steps and then all the other factors like the toning, if any, any blemishes and after I determine how far the strike takes that nickel as far as how high it will grade then I try to determine how it&#039;s gonna look to everyone else.&nbsp; Also the factors involved in a nicely stuck nickel don&#039;t always fall in the order I mentioned above, sometimes the eye appeal hits me first, like a fly in the eye.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll tell ya&#039; there&#039;s alot of factors involved when buying raw coins, especially war nickels.&nbsp; As far as steps go, I really don&#039;t care if it&#039;s a 5 step or a 6 step nickel as long as the existing steps are clear cut and sharp.&nbsp; Beauty will always be in the eye of the beholder, but a well stuck nickel can not be denied.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
